Canyons and Caverns — текст песни (Shawn Mullins)

on a mantle made of oakwood
there`s a photograph from my childhood
it was taken in the desert early light
i look a lot like a leprechaun
with a mexican vest and a red hippie hat on
maracas in my left hand, stick in my right
there are canyons there are caverns
there are boarder roadside taverns
i am held captive by the big blue sky above me
she naps with the tv on
i smell the june cut grass from my pappy`s lawn
i play alone in the little room upstairs
there are lincoln logs and cookie tins
colored blocks and wars to win
i draw and i dream and beat my drums up there
there are circus lights and maple leaves
there are daffodils and dogwood trees
i am held captive by the big blue sky above me
now the coffee`s strong
and the fruit`s all wrong
and my wakeup call`s for somebody else
and the tv`s hoax and neurosis jokes
always keep my laughing at myself
and i laugh a lot that`s what i do
and i learn the things i never knew
and i see canyons i see caverns
i see border roadside taverns
and i am held captive by the big blue sky above me
i am held captive only by the big blue sky
i am held captive by the big blue sky above me
